Metric have been keeping busy in Toronto this past week, promoting their newly released fourth album, Fantasies, with a MySpace secret show, in-store and radio performances, and culminating last night at their sold out show at the Mod Club.

Last night’s set list saw their “greatest hits” take a backseat to the new album, which was featured extensively, leading off with ‘Twilight Galaxy’ and ‘Help, I’m Alive’.

Emily Haines channels her inner Ziggy Stardust.

Check out Metric’s video for ‘Gimme Sympathy’ from their new album Fantasies.

Metric are currently on tour, playing Montreal tomorrow night and Whistler, BC on April 24th, before crossing the pond to play Europe. They return to Toronto on June 20th to play at Edgefest in Downsview Park.
